Representing youth from all parts of the island, the teams will be playing at the Kalaheo Neighborhood Center on Monday and Wednesday nights as well as Saturdays.
Each weekday date will feature three games based on six periods of 6-minute running time. The final two minutes of the last period will be the traditional stop-clock timing. Saturday’s schedule calls for four games.

This format has proven to be successful in the community programs by allowing all players ample court and playing time.

Daniel Simao will coach the Lihu‘e “S,” Peter Rayno will be coaching the Lihu‘e Lakers, and Cecil Gee will be directing the Gee Unit.
